nested datagrids in rows

[David Perez Essenwanger]

Hi.
I wonder is there is a way to displaya datagrid inside another datagrid
but not inside of a column, but inside of a row. imagine a datagrid with
one column and the data displayed in this way:

row 1: Name1
row 2: Description1
row 3: Another DataGrid with Name1 details

row 4: Name2
row 5: Description2
row 6: Another DataGrid with Name2 details

..
..
..

thanks for your help

sure this is entirely possible but i'd reconsider if i were you because you
quite likely will overwhelm the user with too much information. users can
only grasp small quantities of data at a time which is why you should have
details button instead allowing for drillthrough capabilities. Anyhow, if
you want to add a datagrid in your case, you can trap the itemdatabound
event handler and add a datagrid control to the cell
e.item.cells[0].controls.add(new datagrid());
roughly

Thank you for your reply.
the reason i am doing this is to show in the browser all the tables that
exists in any database with all the fields, including their descriptions
for documentation purposes.
thanks for your recommendation
